Abstract PURPOSE Little is known about how patients’ socioeconomic status (SES) influences physicians’ clinical management decisions, although this information may have important implications for understanding inequities in health care quality. We investigated physician perspectives on how patients’ SES influences care. METHODS The study consisted of in-depth semistructured interviews with primary care physicians in Connecticut.
